Foods We Loved as Kids, Maybe Not as Adults

Growing up in Nebraska, one of the most popular dips for potato chips was bacon horseradish, I used to love it as a kid. I tried some a few years ago and it was nothing like I remembered, I couldn't even eat it! Also, my grandparents always have Braunschweiger, I used to love it as a kid, but I tried it a few years ago and nearly gagged. Maybe I was a weird kid.
I love fig newtons, when I want a quick store bought snack.
Like most of the above, all those tooth-achingly sweet things that are marketed to kids (pop-tarts, sugar cereals, twinkies) are impossible to swallow now, though I do occassionally like a Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll or Peanut Butter bar (the layered one). I tried both twinkies and ding-dongs again in grad school and couldn't finish them.
I never cared for any of those Chef Boyardee products, canned meats, and I only like hot dogs cooked over a fire when camping.

In Videos: $240 Worth of Pudding on 'The State'

I've been quoting this skit for about 10 years now. I have very fond memories of watching "The State" in my dorm room! There was also a bizarre skit involving a sausage factory!

I also miss Smurf Berry Cereal. I completely forgot about those microwavable smores, but I loved those things too. I will keep my eye out for pudding pops! I could find them in Missouri and I haven't seen them in California yet.

I totally agree with the Tater Skins chips and the magic middle cookies, both by Keebler. Loved those.
What I haven't seen in years but loved as a child, are pudding pops. Remember the ads with Bill Cosby. Maybe they're still made, but I can't find them, I loved the swirled ones the most. I once found a recipe and made some, but they just weren't quite the same (though pretty tasty).

Cook the Book: Chocolate Sablés

Flourless chocolate cake. I made it for the first dinner I cooked for my now-husband when we were dating and then as the groom's cake at our wedding. I've had the recipe demanded from me on several occasions.
